Dear All, Has it ever been discussed on this list the possibility that feathers may have originally evolved as elongate "detachable" and/or "shakeoutable" scales to help protect against skin parasites? And that insulation and flight came later as a fortuitous result? -----Ken Kinman _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.
